No front to OP for contributing and posting, just the upvoters
Wow just two days ago I see a post about how Lemmy is dominated by men and how that could become a problem, and today I see a comment section where all the incels come out of the woodwork.
“waaa somebody wants to solve a problem that has never affected me I’m the victim”
“omg what if people talk behind my back they might find out I’m an asshole? literally 1984”
“wadabout if this app was racist?!? checkmate”
I’m not saying this app is good or bad (I can definitely see the problems) but if an article about cybersecurity gets posted and this is our first reaction, makes me lose hope in Lemmy.
Edit: Responses have made very good points and I think I was off, thanks guys. I still think some of the early comments I encountered were rather reactionary
